Debbie Chou is a compositionally imaginative and boldly vulnerable singer-songwriter currently based in Astoria, New York. With a freewheeling genre-bending spirit and a penchant for compelling narratives, her music has been playfully dubbed “sad bastard rock".
Debbie has released her debut album Lovebug (2012), the single “Little Prince” (2013), and “August” (2014). Her piano and synth-based aesthetic weaves in and out a multitude of genres and traditions, borrowing ideas and concepts from post-punk, piano rock, indie rock, classical, and electronic music.
Debbie was born in Pittsburgh, raised in Taiwan, and graduated from college in Connecticut. After exploring musical theater, she decided to formally study music composition. Post college, Debbie moved to New York City and joined the indie rock band, The Barrens, where she sang and played keyboards from 2007-2013.
The End of Our Time was released on March 31, 2020, coincidentally at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021, she released “There Goes” and “Carriage”.
